a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at the moscow. with your news from around the world the u.n. security council is holding an emergency meeting after north korea carried out a third nuclear test in defiance of international sanctions russia was among those to condemn the move which. excuse me is in the midst of saying that it's all in response to quote outrageous u.s. hostility the details now from our teams and he said no way. so far strong words from foreign minister sergei lavrov concerning this test by north korea urging the u.n. security council to respond immediately however at the same time warning that caution needs to be taken and ask away said needs to be prevented we do this but i would

like to stress that north korea's nuclear test deserves condemnations we hold the move will not be used as a pretext to build up a military presence around the korean pin. and soon lost we believe that flexing military muscles in the region is extremely dangerous as this as north korea is threatening further measures the reclusive state is saying this is only the beginning the first of several responses to what they call outrageous hostility coming from washington now the main concern is that this puts north korea one step closer to building a nuclear warhead small enough to mount on a not long range missile capable of reaching the united states and so we're seeing and will continue to see strong reaction in the international community you have contras like russia pushing for dialogue and diplomacy and then partners in the last pushing for strong action what is the right way it's not for me certainly to answer it's a question that's on many people's mind is how do we go further and actually get

something done this is a longstanding issue today's news of course was explosive really that has to change the situation certainly that's what's expected to be on the table at the u.n. security council and let's not forget that many people are looking at this as a direct message from leader kim jong un to president obama just hours before he gives the state of the union address and shortly president obama is going to react to this and most likely it's going to be by once again threatening sanctions and further isolation and the big question is that enough to want to tear north korea from its nuclear ambitions and secondly is it safe if the reclusive state is in fact advancing its nuclear capabilities it is in use in our reporting right there with the latest on a north korea's nuclear test and we've also got a live timeline to keep you up to date on all the latest reactions on developments on that issue a website. called well the u.n.

security council is meeting in new york to decide what to do about north korea specialist tim beal things sanctions are useless and only negotiations of any charts of work. i don't know anyone in the in the american in the top elite really think they will and in fact they say what they claim they think they will say it's really uncertain no country really change its policy under sanctions if the alternative to the has been quiet that means worse than the sanctions and that is the case that. north korea and sense could could surrender if you could acquiesce to american arms. but that in fact narrow eyes worse than what the americans to do to them was actually so they will persevere. there will first appear until the americans and the negotiating table.

whether that will happen because look the matter. we always love it here at r t when you get involved with the stories we're broadcasting and are right now at r.t. dot com for example we are asking you exactly what you think about the issue with north korea conducting these underground nuclear bomb tests all in the name of national security we're asking you if indeed they should be able to get away with this or whether it's actually fairly legit here are the numbers for this hour from our dot com right now and still there looks like a the biggest number of voters thirty four percent saying well yes indeed up john young is entitle to do this just ask hussein i think most of us know how that ended up coming in a fairly close second twenty eight percent now saying that their reasoning is flawed due to ideology and a sense of isolation in that of north korea they were getting down to the position of third place to twenty percent voting that oh well perhaps pyongyang wishes they had been left an alternative and down to the bare minimum of eighteen now coming in fourth and final here no the members of the officials of pyongyang are mad men and

they are asking for war while there's still a chance for you to go to r.t. dot com and get your vote cast in this ongoing poll right now well iran has also condemned the north korean nuclear test calling for all atomic weapons to be destroyed to run itself is revealed it's reducing stocks of material but certainly have the potential of becoming weaponized with another round of talks or just around the corner however a breakthrough may not come quickly enough certainly for some iranians who are seeing their health care hit by international sanctions a report on that is just ahead for ya.

opposition is turning more radical protests become increasingly violent. movement of. calling themselves. yet more supporters. of a possible. war. the group which. this mysterious group of parents around the second anniversary of generosity five evolution when they released this statement saying they would fight the mizzen brotherhood and they would strive for the goals of the revolution around about that time we started seeing a young man in black but a car this according themselves said the black bloc and they were heading up the more militant side of the revolution we saw them making want to talk to my facebook

pages they were giving instructions for street fighting it taking responsibility for a number of the acts of civil disobedience such as stopping public transport and also have said they were responsible for the burning of muslim brotherhood headquarters of some of them this of course has sparked much criticism from the authorities including the missing brotherhood and that the t.v. channels the prosecutor general and twenty ninth of january i said they were terrorists carry on that they would be arrested if they were caught red handed our team managed to secure interviews with this members of the secret organization the black bloc is an idea that came about as a reaction to the negligence of our peaceful demands and also as a reaction against the oppression of the interior ministry which receives orders from the regime we stand against the oppressive and tyrant regime we call upon the interior ministry to deliver justice for those who have been killed and we will continue our demands until they are met our actions are in self-defense we are

protecting ourselves but have never attacked anyone we will always be present in egypt even after or demands are met however we will take on a different form the aim behind our presence is to prevent injustice in any form no one listens to our demands and the proof is the number of people who are being killed but of course we had so much as a team on this stepping down of the ouster of hosni mubarak this of course devolved into clashes by the presidential palace much take us was throwing up protest as he responded with molotov the similar protests occurred around the country down south in the suit and now we have reports including egypt's second city in alexandria over. the focus of the crisis was definitely as is most weeks by the presidential promise an indication that the protest is a turning to move by that means push the regime to fill the demands of course want to build true right now under the new egyptian constitution the black bloc is considered a violent outlaw group ramsey brut an author who writes extensively about the

middle east the things that organizations like this because the country is ultimately so polarized. the last two years egypt has not been allowed to have a strong central government that is keeble pushing the political process fooled and thus the economy of the country the social cohesion and everything else as a result you have this huge vacuum and this polarization and that is allowing egyptian society to be open for exploitation what has been happening is not exactly a popular a new unified popular uproar against the addictive nature but rather a political polarization that has swept through the country for the last two years reaching the point of both sides justifying violence against one another and as it is you have this this increasing number of casualties some of it indeed due to police brutality and there is

a possibility that in fact that the are outside those who are trying to further fuel to the fire that is already. taking over egypt at least in the urban centers from cairo to boresight it's a phenomenon that i think resulted from the frustration disenfranchisement and just the general feeling of betrayal that the youth of egypt are feeling right now the issue is not the black bloc in particular but why would the even appeal to the youth of egypt in the first place unless there was that vacuum and there was that the need that was it created by the lack of sensuality and the lack of confidence in the political process in egypt with her coming from the government or from the so-called opposition are there still to come for you here in a program on are a magnet for migrants and the u.k. is attracting more than any other european country percent according to the latest in your statistics it's

from iran. but always a pleasure talking to check out our website the other story. from around the world let's have a quick look now and. right now for example the deadly and mysterious corona virus . last september. and the potentially fatal mutated infection has killed five people so. number could be on the rise. also online for you racist claims. a white rabbit is led to disneyland facing allegations of bigotry all the details on the web site. the u.k. is the top destination for migrants in europe recent figures show around six hundred thousand came to live in britain in just one year it's a trend which worries many with the demographic experts predicting that white

british people could be a minority within fifty years. this report. it's what britain is known for a vibrant multicultural society and it looks like u.k. babies are testimony to it in east london seventy seven percent of new mums were born in britain nicoletta is from romania two thousand and seven i have been here when my husband together so. come through and let it sit cine recently moved here from sri lanka and it is. my dil that is more dear. zahra has three children i was born in bangladesh could do to keisha good living standard of living so here prefer to live in. overseas between the years of two thousand and one and two thousand and eleven nearly four million immigrants came to

the u.k. as part of an immigration boom under the former labor government at the time westminster said that britain needed working migrants to propel the economy this is tower hamlets in east london a third of the residents here a bangladeshi in fact they outnumber the white brits in this area by two thousand people so if you want to just say that they're baffled at just how quickly the number of indigenous brits has diminished over the past decade there are a lot of genuinely decent people who do have concerns that even the labor party has discovered recently that the vast majority of people is right those who would. actually vote for the labor party have conserves about something that no government could be the leader of the opposition labor party recently admitted that his party got it wrong on immigration and. we were too quick to say.

that. the truth is the public were ahead of us in seeing some of the problems of migration because they were seeing them in their own communities poll after poll shows that the people living here i worried about the speed the size of the influx . for my opinion i don't think you. need more immigrants at the moment. critics say the government is too frightened to address what person will look like in fifty years time it's going to look like. it's going to be a complete population change the indigenous population is shrinking anyway the younger generation and the younger generation is becoming increasingly radicalized and i think it's probably. about twenty twenty five twenty.

at war in yemen we're not at war in lebanon or we're not in a war in somalia. if you want to clear war if you want to follow international law if you want to make your case you play by the rules the fact of the matter is no matter what you call this it's murder it's assassination it's illegal we're talking about murdering civilians we're talking about attacks by drones in countries that are our allies if there were a person is there that we are want that are wanted american citizens yemeni citizens pakistani citizens somali citizens for crimes here you go to the countries yeah extradite him you charge him you bring him to trial the united states under international law cannot must not enough to no stretch of the imagination is justified in the use of drones in the execution and the extrajudicial assassination of not just americans of anyone overseas for years we have charged people we have extradited people we've indicted people we've convicted many people charged with

crimes of terrorism and it's worked before but this is an administration which is a namrud with clean murder with clean killing that's what president obama likes and now we're just trying to clean it up further. apart into the sea world starting with india where at least eleven is being killed off the police show tribal groups angry at ongoing local elections tribesmen and women from surrounding villages to sending on polling stations with swords insisting they firmly reject any form of government rule. and syrian rebels are planning a major push to seize the oil rich city of dear old zoar and the commander says that the town is surrounded on all sides after government troops were forced out rebel forces are now pushing army units out of a key hydroelectric dam in what's seen as a major setback for bashar al assad although the opposition has now said it's ready for talks with the government. and the french military says it has

laws and you invest all your authority on that and then you lose as if as effectively happened in those important catholic countries like spain portugal brazil. and about to happen indeed in england and scotland in france then you actually lose the your authority it's more than just losing the fight so that's been a catastrophe for the church and church attendance has declined it's an amazing rate and i think the child abuse scandal has been something that. benedict has never recovered from he's been involved in it personally through the c.d.f. prefecture for twenty five years and in fact he's brought more into the vatican and tried to cover it up more and more and more so i think his his papacy will be seen as a major setback and

a very bad papacy for the church are just a moment abby martin and breaking the set.
